With all these guys possibly being available along with some possible disgruntled stars we could trade for like Pau. Even Wade or James if they are unhappy with their teams underperforming.

I say take a look at the list and over pay for 2 of the guys you like that are young enough and or feel can make major contributions to a championship team now or in the future.

I would overpay for Josh Smith as I think he can be a star and force a sign and trade out of it. Blatche has crazy potential if you ask me. I would also consider overpaying for Iggy or Ellis as well as they are both good and have star potential. However considering that Maggette can opt out of his contract as well as some other older decent players I would have to consider them as well like Brand and Davis.

Plan is draft the player who has the most potential to be a superstar regardless of position. Overpay a player or 2 attempting to force a sign and trade with their current team.

I think if you want to build a very good team there are numerous options there along with what appears to be a very nice draft coming up. So Paxson should have no excuses after this offseason.

I would say that Deng or J Smoove would be the 2 I would give a boatload of money to. Possibly Iggy, but he seems to get real shady when things get tough. Arenas is going to collect a major pay day from someone and it won't be our cheap team. I think we see this team overpay for Deng and someone else while we let J Smoove sign somewhere else for less than what we could have gotten him for. But, his uptempo game would not work here so it might be a bad fit now that I think about it.

Why wouldn't he work out here since one of the things that will happen this offseason is a new coach and we will be shuffling around some players?
